>>64710965here's what i did, copied from my last reply before the thread died>>64710931found a seemingly-legit iso off piratebay, put it on a flash drive, tried to go through advanced boot options via win10 settings, got the prompt shown here >>64710911so i tried to just run the setup from the flash drive, it got to 2% then crashed when it couldn't delete the $windows~.br whatever folderso i tried to delete said file manually, but the system didn't allow it, so i tried using disk cleaner, but that got stuck on scanning the system files, so i said fuck it and just gave up because this computer does NOT want me to install win7 for some fucking reason.

>>64711088In BIOS you will need to turn SecureBoot off and change UEFI to Legacy to install Windows 7.You could install Windows 10 LTSB on it if you have problems with drivers, most cheap laptops like those have compatibility problems with windows 7 because they use cheap WLAN cards(Wifi adapters) or really cheap Touchpads that lack legacy compatibility, not all but they exist.Source, i fix computers for a living.

>What is windows 10 LTSBWindows 10 demonetized, removes all the shit Windows 10 comes with, you still need to turn 2 things off manually but is nothing in comparison to what you have to do with home and Pro versions for them to be usable.

>>64711088And coming back to reinstalling windows and deleting all you had before.You already did a backup of your old stuff right? if so in the Windows 7 installer it will give you the option to delete everything if you want to or automatically backup everything to a folder.Your rufus settings should look like this, remember it will delete anything you had in that USB.

>>64711135>>64711154my bios is really basic, the only things i can change are the date/time, password and something about safe boot that doesn't seem to affect anything, currently off. i've got everything critical that i can't redownload on my other flash drive, so that's a nonissue. i'll give the torrent a go and if it doesn't work i'll ping back with whatever other problems arise. thanks again.

Ive dowloaded some meme probability puzzle app with random puzzles and there it is the birthday problem. What is the number of people required in room in order to get probability of common birthday greater than 0.5. I get it, cool. 1 - 365/365 * 364/365.......(365-n)/365 >0.5. The answer is 23 people, okay cool. Now doing it my way the probablility of 2 people in a group of 2 having bday on the same day is 1/365, now considering only pairs not trips, quads etc. The probability of 2 people in a group of x having bday on the same day seems to be 1/365 * n! / (2*(n-2)!) aka 1/365 * (n-1)*n/2which results in 20 people being enough. This shit is driving me mad. Where am i wrong? I know that in my method im considering only pairs but that should make req number of people even higher cause im not accounting 3s 4s and so on

>>64711303MBR(Master Boot Record), you dont need to look into it, Rufus will do everything you need.

Anyway, i been researching and you have 2 huge problems with that laptop.Lenovo locked out the Legacy/CSM option in that laptop so you cant install Windows 7 on it correctly (Unless you use a GPT install but you wont be able to activate it).And second they locked the 64bit OS option too for whatever reason.Download Windows 10 LTSB(Windows 10 Enterprise) x32 instead, it will work like 7.

>>64711385it crashes when i try to run the .exe, and the english patcher says i'm using an OS that's incompatible with the software. which is why i wanted to change the OS itself, but since that's impossible on this damn thing i guess i won't be playing it until it comes out.>>64711407wish i had the cash to, but it's no worry. appreciate all the help regardless.

So I figured this was too stupid to ask on /pcbg/, so Im doing it here. If I were to buy a b350 motherboard and pair it up with a 2200G, would it work out of the box? I read an anon saying one would need to update the motherboard, but that doesn't make any sense because amd can't expect people to have a gpu and ryzen 1xxx processor just to apply the update to make apus usable. Unless the update is only to make higher clocked ram compatible. Yes, I feel retarded, but that anon's comment is weighing on me.

>>64711702Color wont make a difference, what matters are speed and timings.Your motherboard can support 8GB RAM unofficially but compatibility is a hit and miss(nForce 430 chipset).If it doesn't work just refund it.If you are going to upgrade your computer anyway save the money and do it, you cant reuse DDR3 RAM on new computers because they use DDR4 only.

My laptop is getting hot so I opened it up and looked inside. Apparently one of the screw standoffs popped out of it's hole on the mobo so the connection between the CPU and heatsink is compromised. Would super glue be good enough to keep them together with the tension from the screw?

im having a bit of a web browser conundrumi've been using palemoon for about a year, but i recently activated my netflix again, so drm content wont work on palemoon. the devs have been acting like fags lately, so theres another reason to change.I moved back to firefox, but this plugin that forces 1080p on netflix only works on chrome for me. Isn't chrome a botnet though? what about chromium? will netflix and this 1080p plugin work on chromium? im on debian if that helps.

studying for a cert test, the textbook told me that northbridge on the mobo is capable of communicating with USB 3.0, but a separate practice test i took online states that all USB communications are handled thru southbridge. is the test outdated or should i demand a refund from the book publisher?

He called me over to check it out because it was acting weird. So I did a basic check- pretty much just making sure everything had correct drivers, etc. He told me he noticed a couple things:1. it was running very slowly at first2. it installed a windows update prior to being connected to the internet3. a command prompt terminal popped up and disappeared when he first ran it4. Attempting to run windows defender shows an infinite loading cursor, and causes the computer to run slow

I noticed that this wasn't a base install of 10, it had a custom wallpaper with the name of the company, none of the normal windows bloat, and a couple of third party programs like team viewer, prime95, and some graphics card test program

There was no product key to be found for windows, so no fresh installing

>>64711968>>64711818Alright guys thanks to you I was able to reach a decision. I'll upgrade the ram and give my computer away to someone who needs it when I get my beast of a computer. I already know that doing the latter is going to hurt like a mother

>>64712442I think I see the issue. I think I'm seeing a screw going through a heatsink mount, then into a metal standoff that I'm assuming goes through the PCB and connects to the shell.

Where is the other one broken off? Seems to me what you need is something holding the heatsink thingy down to the PCB. If there's space (or if the remainder of the standoff thing can be cut/broken off the shell), you could get an appropriately sized nut+bolt with thin head and plastic/rubber/silicone washer to prevent shorts, and put the bolt through the board and then the heatsink holder.

>>64712447Yeah. it's doing like a static sound, and it fucked me up at first because I did the old "open google switch to another tab" thing. I HATE websites that autoplay with sound, Why fucking news sites think they can get away with that shit is beyond me.

>>64712504There's the screw, the flat metal thing is connected to the heatsink, and then the cylinder on the bottom is connected to the PCB. It's kinda like those barrel legos, there's a narrow part on the bottom of it where it connects to the PCB. On the one that's not connected to the PCB any more it's because of that bottom part. I assume whatever adhesive was used broke, I can't get under the PCB without disassembling it more than I know how to.

>>64712563It's a laptop so I don't need to repaste it, maybe it's not a heatsink and I'm just calling it one. It's the copper bars that lay on top of the CPU and go to the fan. Should I go to a hardware store and see if I can get some epoxy? Would that work better than super glue?

>>64712553What has the screw threads in it? If you can get the screw or a bolt through the hole and all the pieces it's supposed to go through, you can either get it in some semblance of the original screw threads or a nut (or put the bolt in the other way up).

The barrel piece doesn't need to be mounted to anything if it doesn't contain the threads that hold the screw down. It can just exist between the PCB and heatsink, held in place by the screw.

If it does have the threads and is supposed to be stuck to the PCB or something under it, you need to find some other way to hold the heatsink down to the PCB, and my suggestion would be a nut-and-bolt setup.

>>64712345Chromium shares many developers as Chrome since they are the same. One is just as open source as the other due to the Chrome being a fork of Chromium. In the end they both have the "botnet" which at this point you already the part off by using the internet.

>>64712728If you want to lack general UI bug fixes, like some of the start menu not working or not being able to pick a custom windows color. Go on ahead. Yet there is still telemetry sent to MS. Unless you manage to block every MS IP via router.

>>64713831I like qBittorrent when I have to torrent on Windows. Deluge is also acceptable.

I normally use rtorrent on a headless torrent/NAS box. Throw the .torrent files in a directory on it or enter magnet links into it directly, and I get a notification on my phone when the download finishes.

>>64714463>My question is, is it possible to test the GPU without a fan to make sure its working?Sure, put it in and see if you get a BIOS screen. I wouldn't run it very long with no fan though.

If you want to do more extensive testing, I'd recommend taping a fan over the builtin one and plugging it into a molex or non-controller fan header (i.e. always top speed), just to pull some air through even if the busted fan is reducing the airflow by sitting there.

>Also, has anyone tried using 120mm cpu/case fans on GPU's rather than what they usually come with?This works. You don't even need to remove the fan assembly from the GPU a lot of the time. Just pop the fan blade assembly out so it doesn't obstruct airflow, strap your new fan on with zipties, and plug it into a mobo fan header or molex.

Of course you can get fancier and remove the fan shroud, fully remove the old fan, and solder the new one to the GPU's own fan output so it can (hopefully) control your new fan directly.

I can get a nice flagship phone for a very good price, only catch is it has a snapdragon 810 which is notorious for overheating. How bad is it for general use? I don't mind if it overheats a little bit in shitty mobage, just so long as it doesn't drain the battery too much. Most intensive thing I do is firefox really.

Complete excel newbie. Is there a way to set formulas to use arbitrarily selected rows as inputs (by control clicking to group) and calculating against static columns? In this example I've chosen Cells 3E,6E, and 8E. I want to calculate their sum and output it to 16L (marked in red). I can see it sums it in the bottom bar (also marked in red) but I want to do other calculations using the same rows but different columns. I may want to select a different group of rows next time and thus can't just hardcode 3E+6E+8E. Is there a way to do this?

>>64710878Can I turn this 'Media Module" into a portable SSD/massive flash drive? My dad let me try to format it since his computers would detect but not format or read any valuable info form the device. Its built around the format of "MOV wrapped OZO Virtual Reality with 8Ch raw Video and 8Ch PCM Audio" but that might just be the file type which Pigeons hoi{}if that is relevant. It interfaces USB A to A and on Windows 10 it will disconnect and reconnect every now and then seemingly on its own but it doesnsk is shown in task manager at 100% usage.

I have their souce code software to read and write to the drive but. I don't really know how to implement an villy

So, I share an external HD with a roommate and he thought he'd put a windows recovery partition onto it. In theory, there was nothing wrong with this, but windows' recovery media creation tool formatted the entire drive instead of the partition he had set aside I can't get anything back with the usual recovery software, is it gone for good now?

Is it possible for an SSD to kick the bucket despite the SMART values and shit all being good? Reason i'm asking is because this morning and just now when i tried starting up the mmo client the entire system kinda became totally unresponsive (we're talking 5 minutes plus to open a simple text file) aka locked up completely and i had to do a hard reboot after which everything was completely fine once more

So where is there a good and secure VPN service that I can use for a few weeks? I'm trying to watch the olympics through foreign broadcasts, but people keep saying "lol use Hola", ignoring the fact it's a horrible jewish botnet.

>be in UK>order mouse from amazon.com because it's actually cheaper>package arrives with one label on top of the other>bottom of lower label says "sender name: Hussein Sajib" or something along those lines>plastic sealing stickers on box are intact, but it could just be a new box. Box is slightly damaged but that's plausibly explained by transatlantic shipping>cable isn't coiled perfectly as intended, this is again explainable by a rough transit but could also be careless packaging>pic related - the "peel me off" film is there, but has significant bubbles around the corner and one thin section is completely peeled off and stretched outCould I have received a return? Does Amazon even do that? On one hand I ordered "new" so I'd expect them not to send something that has already been previously purchased by someone, on the other they're Amazon, they're not exactly there for my interest

>>64715899On further investigation it appears to be fine. Holding the double label to light showed that they're both addressed to me, and the rest is minor enough to be overlooked. Anyway it's only a mouse (I once sent back a motherboard with similar suspicious, which was clearly a different matter).

Is it safe to walk around outside in the dark? I try it sometimes but I always see rattlesnakes on the trails and get scared I'm gonna step on/near one and get bit but is this an irrational fear and I should just not worry about it?

>>64716298That's a reasonable fear, but you shouldn't let it affect you. Wearing boots and heavy jeans should be more than enough to protect you, on the off-chance anything were to happen. Also, if you're anywhere near roads or bike trails, make sure you wear at least one piece of clothing that has reflective stickers on it. Can't tell you how many times I've nearly hit someone walking on the shoulder because they appear out of nowhere.

>>64717092It takes a large and steady amount to garner any attention, you don't need to worry. To give you perspective, I frequently download hundreds of books at a time, either giant packs and a bunch of smaller series

>>64717092Lib gen isn't a torrent site anyway is it? DDL stuff like that is pretty safe.

As far as your original question, well almost always it's not your ISP keeping track of that, unless you're connecting from a university network or something. (They are notorious for monitoring and punishing pirates so be wary in that case.) Usually you only get in shit if some copyright enforcer catches you, usually a third party company that scans torrent swarms and sends out letters in batches on the behalf of companies they contract with. Usually doesn't go any further than that, but if the prospect worries you then just try to stay off public swarms, especially for certain types of content. Recent movies/TV/games/music are the most likely things to get you flagged, books are probably pretty safe. If you put in some time and climb the private tracker pyramid then you're unlikely to run into the issue anymore since it's kind of more effort than it's worth for those guys to do the same just to catch a small fraction of what they can get on the public sites, though whether this is actually worth the effort for you depends on how much stuff you actually download.

>>64710878PC keeps turning off when playing DBFZ today. This just started happening today.Not sure if virus but it only happens when I play DBFZ although I haven't tried any other games.I know that my temps are high but not 'turn off your pc hot'.

My stupid question being;

To dedust my PC and clean it, should I buy the datavac or buy a compress air machine? Canned air doesn't blow enough to clean dust like I need and is expensive to buy cans and cans and cans.

I'm familiar with programming but never did any web development, and I've been thinking of writing a booru plus a crawler to download pics from other sites, or a futaba-like imageboard with archives.

I'd like to know if the language used has much effect on performance. I see board software being written in PHP, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, C#, Haskell and even one that seems to be written in Plan 9 rc somehow. Is there some guide as to which languages (or board softwares themselves, for that matter) are lighter on processing speed, disk access and other server resoures?

Or is the programming language itself negligible and the software itself is what determines performance?

While I'm at it, I'd like my site to stay JS-free if possible. I've found some sites listing CSS wizardry, and this Gallery CSS thing seems particularly nice. But any ideas and opinons welcome.

how can I download webpage on another domain from client-side JavaScript? I'm getting "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource" error and dunno what to set up? Maybe something in request header? Nothing I tried seems to work.Bonus points if no jQuery.

Are wifi extender a meme or should I buy a router then reconfigure it to a repeater bridge? Also can you plug a repeater bridge into a PC while its working or do I need to put it into client bridge mode?

>>64717330Imho server-side language shouldn't matter that much. Most of the work will be on database and caching and those are pretty language-agnostic. Go can give you a few tools in base and save some dependencies, but not much. Even PHP would be legit (although people would notice thanks to .php file extensions and laugh at you).No-JS front-end is possible. Best feature JS gives you is AJAX which can request resources from server without reloading full page (e.g. for Update button). You can really make things work without JS and whoever allows it gets these little features. But you might need some anti-bot JS against bots, not sure how to handle this without captcha or authentication.

A friend has gone abroad to a university. The dorm he is staying at has blocked stuff like torrents and what not. We wanted to play some game together over Gameranger, but that's blocked too. What should I look in to so he can bypass the limitations at the dorm?

>>64718240Just tell him to play tethered over his phone's wifi. Multiplayer doesn't really take a lot of bandwith so unless you play hours every single day there's not much to worry about.Alternatively he could go over to his dorm's/university's IT department and ask nicely if they could whitelist whatever he needs. From my own personal experience and what people tend to post they are usually pretty cool about that stuff. Obviously if he's a dumbfuck and immediately proceeds to go straight to piratebay and download the newest biggest hollywood blockbuster he'd get into some serious shit.

>>64718260Those are all basically guaranteed to give him the same issue.

How much performance would I lose if I sold my fx4300 and replaced it with a sempron145 (which I already have lying around for years) with the 2nd core unlocked?Would it be noticable in general usage like surfing and watching videos? I don't game.

>>64718282>go over to his dorm's/university's IT department and ask nicely This. Did it myself with PSN so I could play MGS4 Online back in the days. As long as it's not some faggy arts school there's bound to be a couple gamers in IT that won't mind doing it for you

If I have an image with text overlayed directly on top, and then another copy of the image without the text, is it possible to automatically subtract the background image and leave only the text? Ideally something that can be easily automated over a folder of hundreds of images (that I plan to pass to an OCR program after)

I feel like this should be easy but I don't know much of anything about PS or such programs besides the barest basics.

>>64718747Haven't seen the movie, but if it's meant to be a sentient or near-sentient AI then it's not that farfetched that it would act in a way the programmer didn't originally envision. You can't really predict every possible action that a program like that would take. Even relatively simple programs will have bugs in them where they act in a way the programmer didn't want/predict in response to whatever obscure situation they didn't think of when they were making it.

>>64718826She's meant to be a perfect waifu-companion in her looks/behaviour, but she's just a hologram/projection from a console in his apartment.

He later buys an accessory called an enamator - which allows her hologram to travel remotely away from the console and out of his apartment.

Later in the movie, shit happens and corporation are after him. As he's about to run away, Joi suggests he deletes her from the console so the corporation can't access her memories (which implies she dies if the enemator is destroyed).

I found it really strange - why aren't her memories on (((the Cloud)))? Would she really know all that meta information about her own programming? Wouldn't they be able to access her remotely with some form of backdoor for situations like that?

Basically technologies that exist IRL today. What do you think?>inb4 "autism/you're overthinking/you missed the point" etc.

>>64718282As you probably guessed bandwidth isn't the issue, as I'm aware there is no cap, but gameranger for example can't log in at all. I'll tell him to ask nicely, but I'm not sure how that will go.

My current apartment building has ancient ass wiring and doesn't support higher speeds of internet (I have 20 down / 2 up maximum), anyone know how much approximately it would cost to get the place rewired?

>>64718017So performance is more a matter of features and database handling than language, good to know. Thanks.

Speaking of which, I found a couple of imageboards that worked without databases, they just used static HTML files and appended them as needed, which doesn't lock the file. Imageboards are perfect for this, it seems, since almost all operations are just a small addition of HTML representing a new post.

As far as I can gather, this databaseless model works great for small sites because it's faster and uses fewer resources, but with a large userbase a database would eventually be necessary. Does that make sense?

>>64711040looks like you just copied the .iso onto your flash drive. when i want to try out a new OS i use UUIhttps://universal-usb-installer.en.softonic.com/it says nothing about windows, but im pretty sure itll work too

>>64720567>How would it not send any data to Google if you're using their services?I didn't say that you don't send data while you are using them. You do. But its negligible. Most of the time you just leak metadata while using GCM. Any three letter can also access that data so this metadata leak op sec doesn't have much importance on a wild type person.

Why the fuck does qbittorrent not detect existing files? I changed the location of some torrents, pointed qb to the new location and it just starts downloading the torrent again, overwriting the existing files. I've done this before, on 3.3.x most likely, and it worked.

Interviewed for Help desk job, answered all questions right. Feel pretty good about my chances but say I do get the job, what do I do if I get a issue I have no clue how to solve? I know I pass it up the chain but I don't want to look like a dumb ass either. First time doing this type work even though I'm qualified for it (else they wouldn't bother with the interview)

>>64721073You can't, least without reinstalling the os. Your computer is booting/configed for UEFI mode. It adds those extra partitions due to how UEFI/GPT works. Plus you got system recovery (drivers/Apps) there that you need if your main install ever gets fucked up. Back that shit up first before you format/erase thing on that drive

My case comes with two 120 mm 800 rpm generic fans installed, one at the front and one at the back. I want to add a third fan (got my eyes on a 120 mm 1200 rpm), would it be better to add it to the front next to the default 800 rpm one or to put it at the back and have both 800 rpm fans at the front? I don't know how much air the default fans can move but the one I'm looking at can do 68.4 CFM according to its specs, I don't know if that's a lot.

Starting a few days ago i noticed my computer fans going crazy whenever i booted a game. I checked MSI and my temps are around 70c for both GPU and CPU which doesn't seem to crazy but Task Manager puts my CPU usage at 100% when all i have going on is my browser and my game.

Im not too knowledgeable about this side of computing but i dont think my CPU utilization should look like this when im just using my browser and nothing else.

I have a i5 3570k and a GTX 980, could it be i have one of those bitcoin miner viruses or something?

>>64721231There is but it ain't easy. You gotta disable UEFI and boot in regular bios (legacy mode) which means a total reinstall of windows plus all drivers and applications. format the drive during windows install as mbr (default since its in legacy mode). Your secondary drives can be converted to gpt after windows install to enable 2TB+ single volumes. If this is just a 2nd drive now (not booting), just left (or maybe right) click on disk 2/basic and select each partition. Click delete.

I want some new addon for Firefox to replace "Menu Wizard", since I don't really want to see all those menu options (appmenu/pagemenu) at all.I know I could just fix it thru userchrome.css but since this shit has no documentation is barely tolerable to write from scratch.

Would it be okay to buy a refurbished or used 2TB 3.5" hard drive for use as an external hard drive with one of those SATA/IDE to USB kits? The price of a portable USB hard drive is kinda high for 2TB at the moment over here and I could do just as good if not better with an 3.5" hard drive. I'm going to be using it for frequent reading and occasional writing if that matters.

so a laptop shuts down when it overheats right? not just restarts? because mine restarts randomly, but its done it ever since I got it, and it only does once (if even) randomly per session, once it restarts it'll be fine for the rest of the time I use it until I shut it down and turn it on again

Tried to transfer music from a Linux application called Clementine to an iPod, now all but 3 out of 300 songs on the iPod are playable. Any way to get/restore them back? Just read nowon Wiki that problems with corruption might occur on iPods w/ clementine, but didn't see it before.

I have a AT-2020USBi microphone that apparently uses micro HDMI for some asinine reason. It seems to have originally come with a micro hdmi to usb cable, but I've spent half an hour searching google for something like that and it doesn't exist so I can't buy a replacement to use on my computer. What do?

I want to record let's-plays of some simple PC games, but I have an old Thinkpad x220 and OBS won't work on it. Should I try an alternative screen-recording program or just get a whole new laptop? I'm not sure where to start looking for a suitable one.

>block ads by allowing X to use your "unused computing power"Are we all not using every core,thread at 99%?Do they not understand having "unused computing power" is literally going against why i have a cpu?Whats next, do they want to use my unused RAM?

My laptop got stolen, hopefully it is getting replaced by insurance. I had a Lenovo Y50 costing about $1100. I was thinking about going cheaper and saving some money but since I won't be getting any more cash by doing so (I would get reimbursed based on what I spent) I am looking for the best laptop in that price range. Something that's mostly utilitarian (battery life, nice keyboard, etc.) with the power to occasionally run relatively light games from time to time. Any suggestions?

I don't know where to ask this, but can someone help a Social Media brainlet out? 30yrs old and never once used them, and I decided to give it a shot recently

Are you seriously telling me that I'm supposed to blast out the entire diversity of my interests/hobbies to a single set of users who may only share a single one of those interests?So I'm supposed to fucking get people to "follow" me for some interesting tech discussions one day, and then take them on a guided tour of all the increasingly deprived levels of my hentai fetishes the next day?

Am I understanding this correctly? Is this seriously how this shit works?Surely I'm missing something here.

I just got a thing to mount my tablet on my pc desk just for the hell of it but looking for a program where i can incorporate the tablet with my desktop or do something cool with it... not sure yet but looking for suggestions..for now ive just been staring at it

>>64724673Of course you are not going to put hentai, only "normie friendly" hobbies. Otherwise yeah, basically everybody can see all your hobbies in Facebook, you can't restrict which hobbies you show to certain people.

I'm working with a repository on GitHub desktop for a team project and I'm totally new to it. I've made changes to the local copy, but there is now an updated repository I need to pull.How do I commit/push my changes without fucking up the new stuff and pull the new repository?

In some C++ programs I've noticed they do this thing where, instead of including everything in the .h file,like how I was taught you're supposed to do, they have some #includes in their .h file and some #includes in their .cpp

With all these advanced computers being made, and many of them intended for government usage, there's a lot of cyberweapons being made to compromise these systems. So it made me wonder, is it possible to make a system made out of old consoles? I reckon they'd be "too dumb" to be able to be infiltrated, and at worst would just shut one particular unit down.
